Course Description

The Fusus al-Hikam – the Bezels of Wisdom – is considered to be the quintessence of Ibn ‘Arabi’s teaching. The chapter on Adam is the first of 27 chapters, each dedicated to the spiritual meaning and wisdom of a particular prophet. 

Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (1165-1240AD), mystic, philosopher, poet, sage, is one of the world’s great spiritual teachers, whose writings provide a beautiful exposition of the Unity of Being. His wisdom has much to offer us in the modern world, in terms of understanding what it means to be human.

These sessions are supported and sponsored by The Beshara Trust.
